Quicken XG UK?

Quicken UK has ABANDONED the Quicken product. They are no longer developing or supporting it. They are no longer providing data downloads. Quicken XG 2004 is the last version of Quicken that was sold in the UK market.

You won't be able to convert your Quicken UK data file to another international version of Quicken (e.g. the US, Canadian or Australian versions) because Quicken UK uses a different file format to the international vesions.

You're screwed. Welcome to the club...

You may not be able to "convert" your data, but you can export it to QIF files and import them to any other country version (I am assuming that all country versions can export and import QIF files; US versions do).

That may be, but I've been happily downloading quotes for over a year now and 27th July seems a wierd time to stop. Not even the end of the week.

I have tried to join the support forum, as I noticed another UK user asking the same question, but stated he had the 28ths data.

Even after registering and clicking on the link and being sent another email saying I'm a member, it still will not let me in with username and password.

Life is too short to be bothered as to why. Please tell the other guy that others are hav>>

Please remove obvious from email address if emailing.

If you're interested you could export your UK data to .qif files and import them into an international version. But the results will be far from perfect and the process is guaranteed to put a few grey hairs on your head... Also, Intuit has moved away from the .qif format so you won't be able to export all your accounts to .qif (eg. cheque accounts).

Read the merge_quicken_files.rtf document that you can get from the FAQ's (Solutions to Problems) link in the MSN QuickenUsers group:

You'll first have to join the group as the document is only available to members... But it's the most detailed document that you'll find and it will be invaluable. Well worth the MSN Groups membership!

It's a long, painful and involved purpose that won't produce perfect results. But it's a start...

Sadly, the non-UK branches of Intuit aren't really interested in assisting Quicken UK users with data file conversions, so you won't get much help from them...

This might contain more info:

it's targeted mostly at the US version of Quicken, so... And also look here: I haven't found anything of real value there... If you're willing to go the Quickbooks route apparently Quickbooks will be able to read and convert your Quicken UK data file... And there's always Microsoft Money!

If you do find a solution please let us know.

QIF isn't really an option anymore:

Form the Intuit "QIF Data Import Resource Center"

: What is happening to QIF Data Import? Beginning with Quicken 2005 for Windows, and for all future versions of Quicken for Windows, QIF Data Import will no longer be available for most accounts.

The Intuit QIF Sunset Policy (quite dated):

And here's another thread on the subject...:

Please spare me the quotes: I would not have suggested QIF export/import if I did not know it would work. I suggest you do some more investigation; then I suggest you come back here and tell folks your quotes did not come close to addressing the subject.

I guarantee you that you can still import QIF files into Quicken - at least in versions as late as Q2006!

I would not normally bother responding to your post; but since you questioned my reply in this thread - but are now posting the same information that I gave earlier, I am going to tell you that I am the person who posted that FAQ.

I'm also going to tell you that the exact same document is available in the Intuit Quicken for Windows forum in the Other Topics / "Merge Two Quicken Files" Subject. No membership required.

Wow! So now I'm questioning your replies! That wasn't the intention. Sorry. Just wanted to help... I'll just shut up now.

Mine broke on 1st Aug and I thought the end had come but it has just started working again today (4-Aug). Mind you, there's still no Standard Life (SL.) quotes but that's only a small irritation.

Downloading prices for Q2002 UK was permanently terminated (sunsetted) on July 31.

I definitely got quotes today. I'm on XG 2004 - does that make any difference?

In the discussion where I read this (it came from Intuit UK, via Intuit US), the only product named was Q2002. I think there is supposed to be a similar sunsetting pattern for online services for UK versions as there is for US versions (about 3 years) ... Q2002 UK seems to have been given extra time already, and ...

Oddly, the person who originated the discussion, the one using Q2002 UK, said they got quotes after July 31.
